From Finland we are happy to announce that Ägräs Distillery is coming. They make amazing aquavit, and are wonderful guys too. They may very well be using Spirikum 2018to launch their new barrel aged aquavit. We'll see.

First off, thank you everyone who attended 2017. We had a ton of fun. So we're doing it again!

This year we do it differently though. And we are very pleased to invite everyone to swing by the tent on Israels Plads, and look forward to seeing you at the dinner afterwards. Tickets can be purchased through Madbillet from next week.

The first producers have already confirmed their presence - Nyborg Distillery and Vi.Er Akvavit will be there in strong numbers. There is murmurs from Finland and the US as well, and we hope to see Germany represented this year too.

Strand Brænderi is a small experimental distillery under the Arcus umbrella in Norway. Rune who makes the spirit is packing his bags and flying down to show what he works with. We are looking forward to tasting his butter aquavit.

Ivan Abrahamsen, R&D Director and Master Blender at Arcus Norway, called us and asked if he could come and say a few words. We clapped our hands in joy, and gave him a full master class. Ivan is responsible for the production of classics like Lysholm Linie and Gammel Opland, and he is one of the most knowledgable personalities in the aquavit industry today.
